La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24

Barcelona Vs Espanyol

Tonight great match to know how potential Xavi on Barcelona, could bring sweet glory what have got when become player or not success when he got chance as coach for Barcelona. I hope match could be created many goal and see what kinds of Barcelona game play, will be the same as his manager on Al Sad as tiki taka or Xavi will adopt different style on Barcelona right now.

I think xavi will return Barcelona's style of play or gameplay to the way it used to be, because when the style of play or gameplay was changed in such a way by their previous coach, Barcelona seemed to lose its characteristics and strength on the field. So I'm sure with xavi now Barcelona will be like that but for the start, I personally don't expect a lot of goals because I think with xavi being able to give victory in this early match basically that's enough.

I heard Xavi start by applying discipline to all players who came late in the training session would be fined
Today we will see what the strategy is applied which is definitely not much different like when he becomes a player there

Finally the match between Levante vs Ateltic Bilbao ended in a draw with the score 0-0, a positive result for Levante at least being able to get one point and they continued their winless trend so far, from statistics both teams did not create too many chances and Levante managed to make two kicks towards goal as well as Bilbao.

You see, this is what I was talking about, Levante will now play very carefully in order to try to get points in every match, and they will do it especially diligently in home matches. Now towards the end of the season, the teams at the bottom of the league table will be play more activate because no one wants to be kicked out of La Liga. But such  matches are very difficult for prediction, because anything can happen in them.

funny, all these weeks when barcelona was playing with former coach the bookmakers placed very low odds in favor of barcelona and barcelona lose or draw. let's see today:



today the odds are good, will barcelona win today?

Even though Barca played badly this season I still chose Barca to win. Xavi's arrival with strict rules must be seen in his debut later. I'm waiting for a change from Barca against Espanyol. At least they will play at their home Camp Nou, that's an advantage for them. Maybe Barca will win 2-0.

To be honest, I wouldn't touch any game of Barca at least until the Christmas break. Until now, they are unstable, a total disappointment, and all their results are a "mess". So IMO it's better to avoid betting on Barcelona.

Athletic Bilbao had the best chances in the first half and all their efforts wasted.   Levante had chances too but had little lapses on their defense. Levante has conceded much goals this season getting a draw might be a sign of great relief especially as it's been played against Bilbao. Atleast they have 1 point from the match after the draw. Can they escape relegation?

Indeed Athletic Bilbao ruins their chances to win this game, as they should be. Levante manages to get a point and now every game for them will be a deathmatch, so IMO every team will face difficulties against them. Still was a boring game and a fluke for Bilbao...

[Ratash]

Two important games for barcelona and atletico madrid against two good teams even if they arent doing good recently but barcelona need that win badly not just for their new manager but because they didnt win in four consecutive wins and they are three points away from 6th position which they will get if they win today as for atletico they dont want to let the other teams get far away in the standing and this is their chance against osasona a team not able to score and win in the last three games.

You can't expect much from xavi in this game, he just got here( Barcelona) you don't expect magic of tiki taka now now,he needs more time with the players,they are just coming back from international break so he has not even see some key players for weeks,so he needs time and patience, before he pass the test he needs time to fail so he can learn and move on, I think his time at Barcelona will be very successful and fruitful.

We are finally starting to the league games again after a long international break. And there is only one game today which is Levante - Athletic Bilbao. When we look at their current places in the table, we can see that there is a really big gap between these teams. Athletic Bilbao are in a much stronger condition than Levante. Maybe Levante are at the 19th place but I still see them as even worse than the team at the last place. Because Levante couldn't win even once in the first 13 weeks of the season. And they couldn't beat Bilbao in their last a few home games also. As a result, I think that Bilbao won't lose and they are most likely to win too.

The position of the two teams in the standings is very far away and Atletico Bilbao should have won easily against Levante, currently Bilbao is in 8th position while Levante continue to be in the relegation zone or in 17th position. Very bad season for Levante because they have never won even a win this season and only drew 6 times. But playing as home can provide an advantage for Levante to get up and away from the relegation zone.

Yeah, it was an opportunity for Levante to get their first win ever this season and start climbing. But it was one of the most boring games in the La Liga I guess. Both of the teams were very incapable of finding the target. Levante shot twice the amount of Athletic Bibao did but only two of them were on target. And the result of the game was 0-0 after this big clumsiness. Levante's streak without a win has increased to 14 games now.

Playing at Camp Nou will certainly motivate Xavi to win his first win with Barcelona in the Catalunya derby,  I've also seen  some of Xavi matches when he coached Al Sad on YouTube, it seems that the method used by Xavi in ​​implementing his game scheme is almost similar to what has been done by Guardiola so far, so maybe in the derby game later we might again see the tiki taka which is the hallmark of Barcelona so far.

It seems to me that in order for the "old" style of Barcelona to be effective, it should only be used with a superstar line-up. In my opinion, tiki taka has already exhausted itself and now any disciplined team can easily resist this style of play (massive defense + quick counterattacks is all that is needed).

Barcelona and Espanyol both have 17 points, so even though Barcelona is playing at home, they shouldn't underestimate Espanyol because if they were careless they could be humiliated by Espanyol. I think Xavi bears a fairly heavy burden where he is expected to improve the Barcelona squad, but the match against Espanyol should be a good opportunity for him to get off to a good start.

What sort of keeper is M. Dituro of Celta Vigo. You can imagine the sort of error he did by apparently dropping a an already caught and uncontested ball. How loosed was that! He just put his team behind by a goal. Though, the Celta Vigo team is responding good too.

I very much agree with your point on the fact that, I'd Tiki Taka needs to work for Barca, superstar or top elite players are needed. That's just it and absolutely nothing more because, the style of play is unresistable, a disciplined one but, it just needs the best kind of players.

Xavi initial task at Barcelona is quite heavy because the Blaugrana is currently in a slump. Xavi's return to Barcelona as a coach at a time when Barça was not filled with so many star players as it used to be. It is hoped that Xavi can bring new enthusiasm and fresh game ideas so that Barcelona can compete again for the La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League titles. The presence of Xavi can be a symbol and hope of Barcelona efforts to get out of the crisis and adversity. The match against Espanyol will answer the public doubts on Xavi as the new coach of Barcelona.

I think Barcelona has a lot of problems which cannot be solved by only their coach. The whole Barcelona club has to come forward to solve the uncountable problems that they have. And winning or losing one League match cannot decide if the coach is going to be good or not. All I want to say is that we should give the team and the coach time to fix these things.

I hope Xavi's debut in La Liga goes well because many people have high expectations for him with Barcelona's condition like this.
of course for now the performance of the two teams is balanced but barcelona deserve to win in this match. I don't want a lot of goals to be scored but I want to see Barcelona perform well and win the game even if it's only by one or two goals.
but if they can achieve a lot of goals that would be even better.

because it is known to the public. Barca's main problem this season is the team's finances. and of course, management should sort this out. When the finances are finished, I think the realization of the repatriation of some of the rumored players can be realized.
As long as this problem continues in the team, of course, it will be difficult for Xavi and the team to be able to make good improvements until the end of this season.
for the match against Espanyol, I think a narrow win can be obtained by Barca.

Finances are the main problem when this has been met then the purchase of players will be even more intense, who says Xavi also wants talent players but there is power for now and is forced to intensify due to his shortcomings.
But Barcelona are not too weak but they have the players there so Xavi still has a chance to improve in the shortest possible time as long as he puts in the effort to do so.
Espanyol are quite challenging for equal points but will be fighting each other for points in this match.

I think Barcelona is going to do better in this match. This is their home match so they have some certain advantages over their opponent. I think this will be a Barcelona win but even if they do not it's better to give the team and the coach time to figure out the mistakes, As Xavi is inexperienced.

today the odds are good, will barcelona win today?

The bookies bet on small bets? it's natural because seeing Barcelona doesn't make bookies interested when its quality has not been seen after Xavi's arrival. So to bet big, of course, Barcelona must show a lot of changes, because if not, of course the bookies don't dare to bet big.

[boltz]

Sevilla draw , Villareal draw ...it seems the favorites are not winning in Laliga either so I think it's that time when you make random bets and hope you're correct.  .

Also my commentators from Eurosport just said live exactly now that Aguero has officially retired from football and you can't blame him and it's the right choice right now for his health.
